History

Nigatsuden Station opened on 19 December 1934 in the city of Ibusuki, on the Japanese Government Railways Ibusuki Line. The line that served it was later renamed the Ibusuki Makurazaki Line, and at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the stop transferred to JR Kyushu. It remains an above-ground, unstaffed station with a single side platform and one track. Several of the six old rails supporting the platform roof bear marks indicating manufacture by Deutsche Krupp (today ThyssenKrupp) in the early 1900s.

Notes

Pieces of the platform-roof structure were rolled in Germany in the early 1900s by Deutsche Krupp, and the maker's marks are still legible on the steel.
